Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of experiences, with some players finding it too easy after updates, while others struggle with difficulty spikes due to overwhelming enemy numbers and durability. Many express frustration with the mechanics, such as the ineffective skills and cumbersome item pickup system, leading to a lack of strategic depth. Overall, while some appreciate the improvements, others feel the game falls short compared to its genre peers, citing glitches and a lack of innovation.
“The overall gameplay isn't bad; it just leaves a lot to be desired because most of the strategy is just figuring out which upgrades to get.”
“Extremely hard for me; the skills feel useless, and the pickup mechanic requires you to be literally on top of the experience to collect it unless you have the magnet skill. Overall, not my cup of tea... if you want a challenge, this is it. Enjoy, y'all!”
“This game is too good as new, but it has some glitches during gameplay and has many crossovers in it. I wish you could remove some, and thank you for the game! 😁”
“Edit: The overall gameplay and skills have been improved after the recent update, but the ranged attacks deal a lot of damage from the flowers. After completing 8 minutes, it is impossible to defeat those long-range mobs due to too many enemies coming at you, and those skeletons are way too durable. If you don't get the desired skills by that time, it gets too difficult to even play, and the character just stops in between while moving.”
“Extremely hard for me; the skills feel useless. The pickup mechanic requires you to be literally on top of the experience to collect it unless you have the magnet skill. Overall, not my cup of tea... if you want a challenge, this is it. Enjoy, y'all.”
“A pretty poor imitation of other games of the same genre. Disappointing to say the least, as others have far better graphics and gameplay.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn criticism for its intrusive ads, which cannot be easily exited, and a high subscription fee of $11 per month for ad removal. Players feel that the game leans towards a cash grab, especially after unlocking the shop, and the ad-based revival system is seen as ineffective since it doesn't pause gameplay.
“Removal of ads is $11/month, which I find to be a ridiculous trend in mobile games.”
“Reviving with ads doesn't pause the game, so you just die again anyway.”
“I would give it 3 stars originally, but when I unlocked the shop, I knew this game was a cash grab.”

While some players see potential in the game, the persistent issues have led to frustration and even uninstallation for some.
“Since the new update, it's buggy to hell. Nothing is hitting me, and I'm taking damage. After every boss, I'm experiencing severe frame lag on my S24 Ultra. I'm uninstalling because, as per usual, development teams kill the game!”
“There's potential, but it's buggy.”
“This game is too good as new, but it has some glitches during gameplay. I wish you could remove some of them. Thank you for the game!”
